Ok so Ive decided I finally had enough of the current girlfriend and its time to move on to pastures new. However now comes the most difficult part of any relationship the breaking up.

Now, I have a particular problem with this. I once went out with a girl for about four years, during this period of insanity I must have broken up with her about 5 times and we would always get back together!

Now I think this may have something to do with the way we broke up, I would usually start by saying 'oh you know I like you alot but lets be friends etc etc' and then Id say how great a person she is and tell her we need to stay in touch etc. Basically a load of bullshit because I didnt want to upset her or hurt her any more than neccessary.

Anyway, like I say we always ended up getting back together. So, heres the question, should I act like this towards the current girlfriend and risk leaving the seed of possible reconciliation in her mind or should I act cruel to be kind and tell the bitch to fuck off!

That does sound a bit to nasty though...
